The God Catcher

This is perhaps the most famous walking statue in the city, thanks to its dramatic pose, its nearness to the Market, and the self-evident magic of its existence. The statue is of a well-muscled but impassive male human with its left leg sunk to the hip in the street, the result of a spell cast by the Blackstaff at the time of its rampage. Its left hand and right foot press against the ground as if it is trying to pull itself out. Its right arm is raised skyward, and above its open palm floats a sphere of stone. Its gaze looks up toward the sphere, and the pattern of bird droppings around its eyes gives it the appearance of weeping.
All about the statue, climbing up its chest and on its knee and shoulders, is a tenement that carries the name “the God Catcher.” The tenement’s landlord is Aundra Blackcloak, an unsociable sorcerer who is rarely seen in the city except when she alights from the door carved in the floating sphere, which serves as her home. On the rare occasions when she wants to meet with city folk (typically to purchase odd substances for magical purposes), she appears unannounced on balconies or rooftops after dark. Her dealings are polite, though, and she pays fair coin. She never confides in anyone or talks about her own doings — and if anyone but she has ever seen the inside of her spherical home, they’ve said nothing publicly about it.
"An apartment house, built from a former Walking statue. Lies at an accidental square created where Sul Street meets an unnamed jog of Market Street. A hearth house, a dry-goods store and a few far-shippers lie nearby. One of its legs is sunken into the ground connecting the building with the sewers. (TGC 5-6).
One of it’s eyes has been knocked out to form a window. The statues features waver uncomfortably in the midst of masculine and feminine, youth and old, with full lips, hard chin and round cheeks (TGC 60).
Aundra Blacklock, a raptoran sorceress is the landlady of the house, who lives in a sphere without a visible door floating 20ft. above the statues upward-reaching arm (TGC 6-7)
It’s said that she can heal spellplague damages.
The God Catcher ""stands in the southern angle of the moot of Sul Street and Storth Street (the short, diagonal northeast-southwest street that branches east off Mendever Street just north of Trader’s Way)."" If I recall correctly, I found Storth also referred to through the years as ""Sorth"" and ""Head Alley,"" but as of the time of The God Catcher people mostly refer to it as ""the way of the God Catcher"" since the statue fairly dominates the little alley.
